#

sorry ig that’s a really fucked up take

but i have not been kind to myself speculating abt these waitlists meltingsob

uncut canyon
#

nah bro i felt like i rlly wasnt good enough when i got rejected from jhu early

#

but you have to remind yourself there is just no way to know if that’s the case

#

maybe it was my need maybe they didn’t want to admit someone who would go into the med field since they had too many of those

#

it’s not always you didn’t try hard enough

i’ve been kind of getting sucked into inaction which is bad

analog horizon
#

i don't know why i chose 4 advanced classes

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

but i learned a lot of math so i feel pretty good

analog horizon
#

as long as you don't have like IB finals you're probably fine

uncut canyon
#

hey pooks

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

yeah lmao

uncut canyon
#

i don’t want to jinx it

ashen carbon
#

oh and a lot of linguistics which i’m super happy abt

uncut canyon
#

but harvard thread is pretty well behaved

#

especially for it being ivy day

ashen carbon
analog horizon
#

2 philosophy, 1 history, and 1 comparative lit

#

the history class is fine but oh god the other 3

vague hemlock
ashen carbon
#

oh shit

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

the double philosophy sounds rough

analog horizon
#

i'm like half complete for my philosophy concentration at this point

vague hemlock
#

sylvia I lowk wanna major in comp lit

analog horizon
#

yes you absolutely should

#

if you come to brown

#

our complit department is like

#

so nice even though it's small

#

all the professors are so chill

analog horizon
#

which we read some extremely dense stuff but it has paid off i'd say

ashen carbon
#

comp lit is two languages right

#

what’s the other one you plan on using generally

analog horizon
#

chinese if i do end up doing complit

#

but also german

ashen carbon
#

hey nice!

analog horizon
#

i want to learn german

ashen carbon
#

those are super interesting honestly

analog horizon
#

i've been revisiting my plans and i've been thinking maybe i want to go study or live for a while in germany and maybe get a phd there

ashen carbon
#

like a bit of a varied proximity to english

analog horizon
#

german phd probably is worth the most in the world

ashen carbon
analog horizon
#

freud is considered complit at this point apparently

ashen carbon
#

lmao really

#

that seems to make sense

analog horizon
#

yeah the freud class at brown is complit

#

why didn't you apply brown though :(

ashen carbon
analog horizon
#

anyway see you at harvard

ashen carbon
#

i’m sure you’ll meet plenty of my classmates

#

i have to get in first lmao

analog horizon
analog horizon
#

or cali

ashen carbon
analog horizon
#

yeah makes sense

#

harvard would be a lot nicer without tourists tbh

ashen carbon
#

yeah i hear

#

ngl i’m a little frustrated with harvard’s political atmosphere as of right now

analog horizon
#

the fact that it ranked dead last in free speech LMAO

ashen carbon
#

it feels very compulsory yk

analog horizon
#
  1. abysmal. no free speech.
zinc helm
ashen carbon
#

i’ve heard not great things about a friend and being forced into things

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

and political peer pressure

analog horizon
#

harvard literally had a score of 0 and ranked dead last

#

it's both so woke WHILE being conservative somehow

ashen carbon
#

i feel like i’m more of a take my time to develop an opinion person

analog horizon
#

it's crazy

ashen carbon
#

yeah

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

woke in the legitimately authoritarian way

zinc helm
#

jeez

ashen carbon
#

not just in a like “let’s respect people” way

analog horizon
#

wokeism is a very questionable thing because it has become an authoritarian tool

#

the fact that it's not the minorities themselves saying anything about it but the white people in charge is

#

just wow

ashen carbon
#

it’s a biauthoritarian signaller

analog horizon
#

global shift towards authoritarianism in the age of the internet tbh

ashen carbon
#

it’s like be authoritarian or authoritarian

#

but personally i’d still not significantly rather go to like a uchicago

#

because they tend to mask politics behind anti politics

analog horizon
#

choose your party:

republican (alt-right)
democrats (sleepy joe)
libertarianism (high on drugs)

analog horizon
analog horizon
#

also libertarian party is like dead at this point so effectively a two party system and at harvard both sides coerce you

analog horizon
analog horizon
#

also funny how US always falls into a binary

ashen carbon
#

it becomes extremely apparent the further you go into a party’s political organizing

analog horizon
#

have you been following the news about the RCA?

ashen carbon
#

naively i’d still like to believe that climate organizing is bipartisan

#

but like

analog horizon
#

(revolutionary communists of america)

ashen carbon
#

hmm i don’t think so

analog horizon
#

they had like a march in nyc about a month ago

#

and they're gaining popularity

ashen carbon
#

are they like dsa alternative

analog horizon
#

a relaunch of an old party

#

nope those are like

#

actually people who believe in revolution

#

and it's worrying because a lot of them truly have gone through the worst things and are actually the working class, and though mccarthyism is ingrained in america if they play their cards right considering the material conditions of the current middle and lower classes, then they could become a formidable force

ashen carbon
#

huh

#

do you at this point wonder if revolution is inevitable

analog horizon
#

the problem would of course be that if they ever do start a revolution the US would literally have to become a military dictatorship to stop them

ashen carbon
#

maybe that’s itself a bit naive

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

have you seen that one stupid neal brennan bit

analog horizon
#

the growing wealth disparity makes it obvious how late-stage capitalist US is and it's no longer actual capitalism

ashen carbon
#

about the nra guys trying to revolt

analog horizon
#

capitalism encourages competition but now it's oligarchal

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

but that the us military is so overbearing at this point that it’s worthless

analog horizon
#

so

#

what if the tankies join in

ashen carbon
#

oh nah

#

i wonder if internal revolt in the us could actually end up worse than nuclear war

analog horizon
#

if that happens the us will literally collapse culturally

ashen carbon
#

i guess only in the superficial way because everyone is almost dead anyway

#

yeah

hexed lake
#

SYLVIA IS ACTIVE

#

MY GOAT

analog horizon
#

HELLO

#

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE

hexed lake
#

INDEED

#

I’m so nervous

analog horizon
#

i'm usually in the brown thread but i'm here to check on things ivy day

hexed lake
#

Valid

analog horizon
#

you'll be fine

#

what other decisions have come since

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

that’s really funny

#

because you imagine we’re all like the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy

#

an experiment that gains like far too much power

analog horizon
#

if it fails as a pure democracy (since it has no cultural roots), i do wonder if it's evidence that evolution in ideology is inevitable and something that starts out of nothing but ideals will eventually collapse

analog horizon
analog horizon
#

US is truly special in the way that there was no previous monarchy or feudalism and the system came as a product of a revolution against rule from elsewhere

#

and while the founding figures may have been under british rule for most of their lives and western educated (especially in classics), what they constructed was of democratic ideals and an extremely good functioning system built upon that

hexed lake
analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

you’re saying institutional stability relies on cultural foundation?

analog horizon
#

and the biggest problem about that is that while their vision was far ahead, the people after them never followed up with changing the system to fit the times, literally half of US politics is at least dated by 100 years

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

yeah that’s exactly it

#

i think i see the core of your point

analog horizon
#

a cultural foundation pushes for evolution because people always try to build upon that culture

ashen carbon
#

i mean you wonder if the lifespan of people creates premature mythologizing

analog horizon
#

but when you don't have that and only a system of ideals? they literally just pinpointed the "truth" and people after did not question it nearly enough

cyan smelt
#

alright yall

#

im at work rn i get home at 4 i nap for two hours

#

boom

#

i get a rejection

#

or not who knows im terrified

ashen carbon
#

so an institution built to evolve only moderately quickly fails because no one changes enough in their lifetime and also people stop changing after one lifetime

honest finch
analog horizon
#

because we literally mythologize the 90s since we never see it

#

so about 1776? of course we're gonna paint an unrealistic image

cyan smelt
analog horizon
cyan smelt
honest finch
cyan smelt
#

democracy is a great ideal but we are built on a capitalist functioning foundation

ashen carbon
cyan smelt
#

money talks

cyan smelt
analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

yeah exactly

cyan smelt
ashen carbon
#

imagine if we were the weimar republic

analog horizon
#

so good that it has somehow stayed alive (of course, considering the amount of money made from imperialism and exploiting third world countries and starting wars) for 250 years

#

if the system was any less good america would have collapsed a while ago

cyan smelt
#

i just also think america was super small at the time and not as big on capitalism since they could rely on slavery

cyan smelt
analog horizon
#

we've been talking about if a revolution will happen anytime soon

#

i'm doubtful, but if a revolution does happen america is fucked either way

cyan smelt
#

ehh i can see a revolution happening

analog horizon
#

either culture dies or it literally turns into a military dictatorship

cyan smelt
#

now? no

analog horizon
#

in 10-15 years

cyan smelt
#

people tend not to do anything until things are super super messed up

analog horizon
cyan smelt
#

almost to the point of now return

analog horizon
#

for the lower classes at least

cyan smelt
ashen carbon
analog horizon
#

i'm convinced drugs are literally meant to control the lower classes

cyan smelt
#

but imo i dont think theyll have a revolution until things are FUCKED

analog horizon
#

oh yeah

cyan smelt
#

it totally is in the 70s-80s they couldnt make anti-war illegal

#

or black people illegal

#

thus the War on Drugs happened 💀

analog horizon
#

i mean i think the government secretly works with the mexican drug cartels or something

cyan smelt
#

mass incarceration

analog horizon
#

i'm definitely crazy for thinking that but it makes sense to me the government would do that

ashen carbon
#

which was itself facilitated by drug promotion and abusive physicians for the lower classes

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

it’s very easy to look down and say that’s the problem

#

and then “fix” it forty times

analog horizon
#

the problem with modern america is that the voices of the lower classes or working class is no longer heard

ashen carbon
#

the issue is when “fixing” it widens the black hole

analog horizon
#

while in its early days people actually had rights

cyan smelt
hexed lake
ashen carbon
analog horizon

#

I think political activism was just easier back then

analog horizon
ashen carbon
#

you have to spent a ton of time deafening yourself to the people drowning

analog horizon
#

the potency of the drugs are enough to kill people nowadays

ashen carbon
#

you don’t realize there are far more of them then you considered

hexed lake
#

Even if you were an oppressed group collective bargaining via unions or protests were phenomena that everyone was held captive to, nowadays physical protests and other powerful means of protest have been diluted in its strength

analog horizon
#

but also interacting with them seems impossible

analog horizon

# analog horizon and somehow drugs won

oh fs bc back then, cocaine usage was tottallyyyy okay. but the moment black people began pushing for more rights, or people were anti-vietnam (who tended to be more "hippie groups") the government pushed for drugs to be seen as BAD, and who uses drugs? apparently all black people (weed) and "hippies" (LSD/meth) and now you get to mass incarcerate these groups so you can silence

#

them

ashen carbon
#

my default approach is be patient but decisive

cyan smelt
#

but you didnt rly silence them, you put them in jail for drugs, so now the public cant get mad at you

hexed lake
#

I just think that we have no shared reality about the world’s problems, so we really can’t agree on what the issues are to address in the first place

#

People distrust their peers who are ideologically or politically different in their belief

ashen carbon
#

but it might not always work and especially on the micro scale you can only tailor your approach so much

cyan smelt
ashen carbon
#

that’s why the mental health epidemic seems so incurable

hexed lake
#

People lack the empathy to really understand one another for issues they might not necessarily share

#

Compassion has been lost across the board

ashen carbon
#

no one has any idea how to solve mental health decisively

analog horizon
#

age of self-absorption i'd say

#

and you know what's the worst part

hexed lake
ashen carbon
#

bc the field itself was brought up on mf freud

analog horizon
#

the people who actually have influence and power and their next generations do NOT want to change

#

and guess who that is

cyan smelt
#

im at work ping me im super invested in this

so many fucking ivy league students

hope you come to brown peachy
